The Sex Monster
LA yuppie Marty (writer-director Binder) can't stop wondering how exciting the bedroom would be if wife Laura (Hemingway) acts out what the script calls the ultimate male fantasy - getting it on, lesbian style, with an attractive woman in Marty's presence. Reluctant Laura complies, and enjoys the feeling so much that the "sex monster" in her awakens. Even the randy husband is appalled, as Laura compulsively makes love with just about all the wives and businesswomen Marty knows. Though the plot sounds like porn, this is the sort of coy sex comedy in
which sex is never clearly shown. Even nudity is fleeting. You're supposed to find Marty's wish-fulfilment plight funny by itself. Hmmm... Male characters in THE SEX MONSTER at least answer the question, what would those obnoxious guys from teen-sex comedies of the 80s be like if they grew up to be rich breadwinners in
antiseptic LA mansions

Writer/director Mike Binder as a wealthy Californian who wants to spice up his sex life and talks his wife, Mariel Hemmingway, into a threesome with another woman. Although initially reluctant to satisfy this clichéd male fantasy, Hemmingway finds herself increasingly intrigued by lesbianism, and before long Binder has unleashed a bisexual monster on the LA swingers scene. This is an amiable, if unsophisticated, farce that dabbles in political incorrectness and wonky gay sensibilities with glee. Hemmingway stands out as the experimental dyke on a pleasure mission.

A thin farce of a man who gets both more, and less, than he bargained for.
